My impression is that general discussion should take place on the
wg-c list, and that the wg-c-n lists are for actual document
drafting.  We seem to have a ways to go before we start drafting
anything, and therefore, almost all the discussion at this time
should be taking place on the general list.

I also note that there is significant overlap in the membership of 
the three subgroups, and a significant overlap in subject matter, at 
least at our current level of generality.  I also note that some 
topics are more fundamental than others, and further, that people's 
familiarity the topics varies substantially.

Therefore, may I suggest that we move essentially all discussion to
the wg-c list for the time being?

Further, I note that there is a rough natural priority in topics -- 
the question of whether there should be new gTLDs is more 
fundamental than which gTLDs, and, therefore, we should probably 
concentrate more on these more fundamental questions.

Is there consensus on the notion that we should move most discussion 
to wg-c for the time being?
